Jocasta played a non aggressive game, and relied on her faith and her mother-like treatment of the other houseguests to advance her in the game. While she was originally just a pawn to sit next to Zach Rance, the house decided to keep Zach at the last second, realizing he was an asset to them, thus blindsiding Jocasta during the first round of the first Double Eviction. She had an opportunity to come back to the game, but was closely beaten by Nicole Franzel. She finished in 11th place and was the first member of the jury. She voted for Cody Calafiore to win, as she had resentment towards Derrick due to him 'fake praying' to get her on his side. Jocasta however, revealed to Jeff Schroeder that actually she only voted for Cody to fulfill her promise to him, and was happy Derrick won.

Despite her "lackluster" game play, Jocasta did gain notoriety with her facial expressions and gestures, being used in "gifs", going viral on social media sites.
